EXCUSES
Breaking Chains: Embrace Life, Shun Excuses
Lyrics
This type of lifestyle don't work well with excuses
This particular way of living doesn't align well with making excuses.
And with a life like this it's easy to use them
Living this kind of life makes it convenient to rely on excuses.
You just thought that we could celebrate
There was a belief or hope that a celebration could occur.
All that sufferin', baby it can wait
Despite hardships, the idea is to postpone joy or happiness.
(It can wait, it can wait, it can wait, it can wait)
Repetition emphasizes delaying gratification.
That's just what you'll save for another day
Postponing actions or celebrations for a later time.
That's just what you'll save for another game
Similar to line 7, delaying actions or enjoyment for another occasion or opportunity.
You're the one that's constructing your cage
The individual is creating their own limitations or restrictions.
With all your rage
Constructing barriers due to one's own anger or frustration.
Said you know you can't, but I know you can
A contradiction: someone claims inability, but the speaker believes in their capability.
Said you know you can't, but I know you can
-It can wait, It can wait, It can wait, It can wait
Reiterating the concept of delaying something for a future time.
That's just what you'll save for another day
Repeatedly emphasizing the act of saving something for another day.
That's just what you'll save for another day
-Fortune comes to those who sit and wait
A notion that good luck or success comes to those who are patient.
That's what they all say
A commonly expressed belief about success or opportunities and waiting for them.
This type of lifestyle don't work well with excuses
Restating the incompatibility of making excuses in this lifestyle.
And with a life like this it's easy to use them
Reiterating how this way of life encourages the use of excuses.
You just thought that we could celebrate

All that sufferin', baby it can wait
Despite suffering or challenges, delaying joy or happiness.
(It can wait, it can wait, it can wait, it can wait)

Said you know you can't, but I know you can

-(It can wait, it can wait, it can wait, it can wait)
